BOYCOTTED BY THE GIRLS.

THE FATE OF YOUNG TTPPLERS IN
PARTS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
COAL REGIONS.
The progress of temperance
principles among the Young Irish
Americans of the coal region with
in the last ten years is simply with
ont a parallel in the history OF
temperance reform. In fact the
temperance feeling is now so
strong that no young man can en-
ter the charming circle OF female
society unless he is an avowed
temperance man and wears the
Father Mathew badge. 1t has now
come to such a pass that the young
Irish. ladies will have
nothing to do with the man who
drinks. BY raising this boycott
against the boys the girls haye
played the part of true temperance
missionaries, in that they succeed
ed in driving the men into the
societies. An illus tration of this
was seen in the town of Beaver
Meadow last spring, when all the
girls in the place combined and re-
solved that they would not accept
the attention of any young man
until he had first signed the pledge
and joined the st. Aloysius Society.
For awhile it was thought the
young ladies were not earnest, and
that the boycott would soon be
lifted. But the young ladies were
determined, and when the young
fellows found this out they sur
rendered and, forthwith there was
a rush for admission into the local
temperance society. The latter is
now ia very hourishing condition.
Of those who join these temper
ance societies about ten out oil

that Peter the Great, the father of
the Russian navy, should shudder
at the sight OF water, whether run

cially when alone. His palace

he never entered, because the river

bridge, the great emperor would

he liked to be called, had many
antipathes, chiefly tobacco, ling,

that on one occasion, when giving

face aside, nearly wOundiDg the

France had so great a dislike for
cats that he tainted at the sight of
